Planning a sea excursion

Did you know that regardless of your type of watercraft, motorized or not, you can disturb marine mammals and encourage them to change their natural behaviour? To learn about the current regulations in the park, take the short online training course at boaters.navigatingwhales.ca. It's free!

When you see a cetacean, remember to keep a distance of 200 m, or 400 m for endangered populations such as belugas and blue whales.

Water activities in the Marine Park can also involve some risk. Do not underestimate water temperature, wind, tides and other changing weather conditions. Find out before you go!
